Mitigating Risk & Uncovering hidden cost through Information Technology Due-Diligence

Private equity firms understand the importance of a comprehensive financial due diligence when looking to engage a potential portfolio company. Understanding the quality of earnings, auditing the financials and evaluating the health of the potential target organization are critical to build a strong portfolio. Unfortunately, many private equity firms miss an opportunity to do the same for the information technology resources inside the prospective target. With the success of an organization being so dependent on information technology tools and staffing, it is imperative for a prospective buyer to understand this portion of an organization.

In this Lunch & Learn, we will focus on subject matter related to the importance of IT due diligence in private equity transactions with discussion focused on:

•        Hidden IT risks and costs when acquiring a company
•        Our approach to uncover costs, mitigate risks and report them back to the private equity firm
•        Defining the IT Transition Services Agreement (TSA) in a carve‐out
•        Managing the TSA or new technology implementation following deal close
•        Overview of recent sample projects
